Hello...
The weekend went fast didn't it?And here we are only a few days before we welcome February.
A good friend of my DH celebrates his Golden Wedding Anniversary next weekend and we've been invited to a celebratory lunch with them. I was wracking my brain to come up with a card for them and then a new stamp arrived and that was my starting point
Colouring on vellum is not something I do very often and I kind of like non traditional cards (guess you've noticed that) But colouring on vellum is what I did...
With my new stamp by Woodware. I've quite a few of their stamps and I love them. You can no doubt see that I used that stencil AGAIN! Ha! I love it.
The little birdies were cut from a scrap piece of alcohol inked Yupo. A few more bits and bobs and then a surprise pop up on the inside...
okay, so it took me all day but I had fun and I just hope they like it.
Have a great day

Wow Ros....That's a creative and wonderful card with a fabulous surprise inside. You had me at the front but then the inside.....Amazing x. Yes the weekend sure did fly past x.
OMWord, this is amazing! The card front is gloriously beautiful all by itself, but then you open it and a surprise pops up! I would not be able to stop exclaiming over this. They'll love it! Such pretty, soft coloring on the vellum, and I especially love the birds cut from the green AI background. This is totally WOW, Ros!
What super card Ros and one to treasure that's for sure. It only took you a day?..it would have taken me a week. FABULOUS! x
What a fabulous card and the surprise on opening is going to bring a big smile to their faces Ros. I love the white embossed flower on the vellum and the sweet heart with the little birds and the large sentiment in a contrsting inky pattern and then you open it and....wow!! x
Wow Ros, what a wonderful Anniversary card, your friends will love it. The inside surprise pop up is amazing, all so worth the time :)
Wow Ros this card is just fabulous...gorgeous colouring on vellum and a fantastic surprise pop up when you open the card...love it, hugs Robyn
I predict they will love it, Ros! Your vellum coloring is gorgeous and so are the birds and wreath! And what a wonderful surprise when they open the card! So creative and fun with lots of elegance too!
Oh, my!! Love the sweet birds, beautiful flower, and pretty wreath! And, the surprise on the inside... just fabulous! I’ m sure the sweet couple will love it!! Huge congrats to them on their 50th anniversary!!
Ros, there is nothing [in my view] more wonderful than a perfect slip of vellum - your stamped and beautifully colored image is just stunning! Your stenciling peeking through is only the first surprise... what a fabulous way to celebrate that 50th!!

Simply gorgeous xx
They will love and cherish it, Ros! It is such a thoughtful and beautiful work of art! You really put a lot of exquisite layers on the front, but then you hit it out of the park with that incredible pop up celebration basket on the inside! What a gift of love! Hugs, Darnell
What a dynamic, upbeat, fabulous design!
